Hi Jim, Yep, those are the controllers for pong alright. I remember them clearly. They were rectangle shaped, black, had two rackets painted on the top of them, and it had a black wheel you turned left or right to move your racket around on the screen. As I recall those same controllers worked really well with Breakout and Super breakout. You could use the wheel to quickly center yourself under the ball and bounce it back into the block wall. That was a cool game that was more challenging than it first appeared as well.
